Early Education, Minor in Literacy Education & Youth Empowerment
"I have been riding for most of my life and it has always been an individual sport for me, so to find a group of strong women (and men!) who share my passion for the sport has been such a blessing in my life! I have learned so much from all of the people on our team, especially those who are just entering the equestrian world! I was worried that I would have to give up horses coming into college, but instead I gained a team of incredible riders and horses."

Biology, Concentration in Cell & Molecular Biology
"I am very fortunate that I have been riding since I was three years old; most of which have been at a barn run by my grandmother. In the last few years, I have won champion in AHS for modified hunter and then 2’6 hunter. For the past six years I have been training the beginners and younger kids at the barn. I also train the rescue horses we get, helping them get well enough to either get adopted or get incorporated into our lesson program. I was very excited to get the opportunity to continue to ride throughout college when I joined the WCU team my freshman year.It was a good way to meet a lot of new friends who share a similar interest. I’m looking forward to pointing out into novice this year and getting more involved with the team!"

Political Science
"Growing up in Chester County, I had the privilege of fox hunting, showing locally, and pony racing throughout my childhood. During high school, I was lucky enough to enjoy three years in the jumper ring across Zone II. When I began classes at West Chester, my job with racehorses in combination with a college workload kept me very busy. However, the opportunity to join WCUET has granted me time in the saddle and the option to ride with a group of diverse, hardworking, and talented students. The values of teamwork, attention to detail, and the emphasis on fundamental skills in equitation have helped me grow monumentally as a rider and horsewoman. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this fabulous and FUN team!"

"Riding is a passion I had since I was younger but was fortunate enough to get back into when joining the WCU Equestrian Team. Over the two years I've been on the team I have learned so much and met so many friends with the same interest! This past season I was able to point out of Walk-Trot and advance to Regionals, Zones, and finally Nationals! Riding at Nationals in Syracuse, NY was an amazing experience that I am so happy I was able to have. I am looking forward to what my last year on the team will bring!"
